Indian children’s edtech platform Codeyoung raises $5m series A

Codeyoung, a Bengaluru-based online learning platform for children, has announced an investment of about US$5 million in a series A round led by 12 Flags Group and Enzia Ventures.

The round allows early investors to exit.

The company said the funds will go toward expanding internationally, developing AI-based personalization tools, and adding new course categories.

Founded in 2020, Codeyoung offers live, one-on-one online classes in coding, math, English, science, SAT, and AP courses for students aged 5 to 17, and operates in 15 countries.

Codeyoung reports serving over 25,000 students and delivering more than 2 million hours of instruction.

Most of its revenue comes from North America.

The company was named Edtech Startup of the Year at the Entrepreneur Startup Awards 2025.

Codeyoung was founded by Shailendra Dhakad and Rupika Taneja.

🧠 Food for thought

Implications, context, and why it matters.

Payment and localization vendors can target Codeyoung’s international expansion from its 15-country presence

  • Codeyoung plans to expand beyond its current presence in 15 countries. Vendors such as Stripe (a global payments processor) can cover cross-border payments and multi-currency billing, while localization platforms (software that adapts content to local language norms) handle content. AI-focused B2B SaaS (business-to-business software-as-a-service) providers should watch hiring for AI/ML engineers (machine learning specialists) and partnerships as Codeyoung builds “AI-based personalization tools”, since 2+ million instruction hours offer training data for personalization models. LinkedIn posts for country manager or regional director roles will flag entry timing by market.
